Steward requests/Permissions
This page is for requests to have stewards grant or revoke administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights on Wikimedia projects which do not have a local permissions procedure. Minimum voting requirement are listed here.
Old sections are archived. The list of archives is below.
- Requests for bot flags are handled at SRB, and requests for global permissions are handled at SRGP.
- If you are requesting adminship or bureaucratship, and your wiki has a local bureaucrat, submit your request to that user or to the relevant local request page (index).
- For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewardsconnect IRC channel. In emergencies, type
!steward
in the channel to get the attention of stewards. Otherwise, you can type@steward
for non-urgent help.
Other than requests to remove your own access or emergencies, please only make requests here after gaining the on-wiki approval of your local community.

Meta-Wiki requests |
Using this page
1. Place the following code at the bottom of the appropriate section below:
==== Username@xxproject ==== {{sr-request |status = <!-- Don't change this line --> |domain = <!-- Such as en.wikibooks --> |user name = |discussion= }} (your remarks) ~~~~
2. Fill in the values:
- domain: the wiki's URL domain (like "ex.wikipedia" or "meta.wikimedia").
- user name: the name of the user whose rights are to be changed (like "Exampleuser"). In case this is for multiple users, leave this field blank and give a list of these users in your remarks.
- discussion: a link to the local vote or discussion about the rights change (for example, "[[ex:Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#ExampleUser]]"). This should normally be for at least one week, but no more than three weeks (if so, you'll need to restart the process).
3. If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.
Confirmation of signing confidentiality agreement
Certain permissions (notably CheckUser and Oversight) additionally require users to sign a confidentiality agreement. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also sign the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until the receipt has been formally confirmed by the Office.
Requests
Administrator access
See Administrator for information about this user group.
- If you are requesting adminship to handle one time vandalism incidents or clearing a deletion backlog, please see Steward requests/Miscellaneous.
- MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.
- Admins doing cross-wiki work may wish to see IRC/wikimedia-admin for information about joining #wikimedia-adminconnect.
- Stewards: Please use {{Systmp}} for approved temporary requests.
Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.
Please start a new discussion about requesting the permission on the local village pump, administrators' noticeboard or a designated page for requesting permissions each time you request or renew adminship.
- Discussions should be open for seven days. Please request adminship here seven days after discussions started. This page is not the place for any discussions or votes. (For wikis with few active users, it is OK to have no comments.)
- If you only want adminship for specific tasks, please state for how long and for which tasks you need it. Otherwise stewards will decide whether to assign permanent adminship and the duration of adminship. See Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

Hello! Could you give adminstrator and Interface administrator access to the User:Bikarhêner. Thanks in advance Ghybu (talk) 01:28, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Bikarhêner must enable 2FA first. Ruslik (talk) 20:38, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- How is that supposed to work? Enabling 2FA requires (interface) admin access (cf. ku:wikt:Taybet:ListGroupRights). --Vogone (talk) 21:09, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Indeed, Bikarhêner has no current way to enable 2FA access. So we can either stop asking them to enable it before assigning the permissions (especially since we can't actually check, my preferred option), or give them access to the oathauth testers group when asking them to enable it rather than sending them to make a request elsewhere. – Ajraddatz (talk) 21:17, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- It has activated. --Bikarhêner (talk) 23:03, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

- It would be simpler to grant sysop access first and then request them to enable 2FA and after that granting interface admin access. Ruslik (talk) 20:26, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

- Discussion: Local vote
Hi, I was active in this project since it was in Incubator in September 2011, then as the wiki was opened in June 2013 I was elected by the local community to be an admin with a temporary status, our later request to get the definitive status was rejected as the wiki was thought to be too small as for its contributors. In the last months some new contributors arrived and we have an increase of contribution and, obviously, also an increase of work for sysop. So now I request permanent adminship, as for the results of the election held in our Wiki. --Tn4196 (talk) 14:18, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Tn4196 is already a temporary sysop (until december 2019). Last month I was elected administrator and I obtained a permanent flag. So we (vec.wikt comunity, with the local vote) decided to request to transform this temporary adminship in a permanent one.--GatoSelvadego (talk) 20:28, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Permanent adminship usually start with at least 5 votes. Ruslik (talk) 20:41, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- The user has been a temp admin there for six years now, and there are other permanent admins on the project. I think it is worth remembering why we assign temporary rights: to avoid small-wiki admins being able to take over their project. After such an extended period of time, surely the risk of that is low and permanent permissions can be assigned? – Ajraddatz (talk) 21:21, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
- Actually there is only one permanent admin. Ruslik (talk) 20:31, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
- We know that a new admin needs 5 votes for a permanent adminship, but Tn4196 is already a sysop. Anyway, what sould we do? Reopen the voting until the fifth comes?--GatoSelvadego (talk) 23:07, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Interface administrator access
See Interface admin for information about this user group.
- If you need to accomplish a one-time, non-recurring task, please request your task at Steward requests/Miscellaneous.
- If you are requesting adminship and the interface admin at the same time, you can file one request in administrator section and state you want interface adminship as well.
- MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request interface administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.
- Since the end of 2018, all interface administrators are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. Please, enable it before posting your request here.
- Stewards: Please use {{Systmp}} for approved temporary requests.
Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.
Please start a new discussion about requesting the permission on the local village pump, administrators' noticeboard or a designated page for requesting permissions each time you request or renew interface adminship.
- Discussions should be open for seven days. Please request interface adminship here seven days after discussions started. This page is not the place for any discussions or votes. (For wikis with few active users, it is OK to have no comments.)
- If you only want interface adminship for specific tasks, please state for how long and for which tasks you need it. Otherwise stewards will decide whether to assign permanent interface adminship and the duration of interface adminship. See Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

Bureaucrat access
- In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.
- A small project does not need bureaucrats. Currently whether a promotion is valid or not is decided by stewards. See here for a guideline.
Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.
CheckUser access
- To request CheckUser information, see Steward requests/Checkuser. This is the place to request CheckUser access.
- One-time CheckUser access is not permitted and temporary access is only used by Stewards or when the mandate of the CUs has an expiry date specified in local policies.
- Stewards: Before granting this permission to a user, please check the current policy and make sure that the user has signed the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation. An email template is available for requesting new users to identify.
- When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list. Subscription to checkuser-l will be handled by list owners. Make sure new users contact an op for access to #wikimedia-privacyconnect and #wikimedia-checkuserconnect.

Oversight access
- To request to have content oversighted, ask for a steward in #wikimedia-stewardsconnect and contact a steward privately. This section is for requesting access to the Oversight tool.
- For contact details about oversighters across the wikis, refer to this page.
- Note that temporary Oversight access is not permitted and temporary status is only used by Stewards .
- Stewards: Before granting this permission to a user, please check the current policy and make sure that the user has signed the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation.
- When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list.
Removal of access
- If you're requesting the removal of your own permissions, make sure you're logged in to your account. If you have multiple flags, specify which you want removed. Stewards may delay your request a short time to ensure you have time to rethink your request (see previous discussion on 24 hour delays); the rights will not be restored by stewards once they are removed.
- To request the removal of another user's permissions, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. When there is community consensus that the user's access should be removed, provide a link to the discussion, with a brief explanation of the reason for the request, and summarize the results of discussion. However, as bureaucrats of some wikis may remove users from the administrator or bureaucrat group, please see also a separate list of these specific wikis.
- To request the removal of another user's permissions for inactivity, link to your local inactivity policy. If your site does not have inactivity policy, the global policy Admin activity review applies.
- See the instructions above for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.

- Dear @MF-Warburg: and @-revi:, @NMW03: is a interface administrator on azwiki and he actively crate and edit gadgets. I think you can give him a year or 6 months, the permanently. Our wiki support his efforts. --Drabdullayev17 (talk) 16:02, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
- @MF-Warburg:, @-revi: OK. You can give temporarily.--NMW03 (talk) 16:57, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
- As I said, please vote/discuss locally first, not here. A discussion should run for at least 1 week on the wiki in question, generally. --MF-W 17:37, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
- @MF-Warburg:, @-revi: OK. You can give temporarily.--NMW03 (talk) 16:57, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

On hold until 10 Feb ("discussion should run for at least 1 week on the wiki") --Alaa :)..! 16:47, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
- @NMW03: where are you importing "from"? If from other WMF projects (even moreso if a small list of them) 'transwiki importer' may suffice (v.s. xml importer). — xaosflux Talk 17:30, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Xaosflux:, @علاء: Yes. I want to import from English Wikipedia and other WMF projects.--NMW03 (talk) 07:27, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
- @NMW03: 'transwiki importer' is a less risky access level, and setting up transwiki will also allow any of your admins to run import - but you have to define a list of sources. So adding 'enwiki' is easy - but it dosen't work so much for "any project" - in addition to enwiki, are there specific projects you need to import from? An example of requesting sites can be seen here: phab:T34500. — xaosflux Talk 10:40, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
- Or I can help you with the process, if rest of your community members are also fine with this idea. — regards, Revi 18:40, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
- @-revi: @Xaosflux: Mainly I'll import from enwiki. Is the 'importer' enough?--NMW03 (talk) 06:59, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
- Provided you can get another consensus to Request for configuration change, you will just need admin account to the stuff. — regards, Revi 11:36, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
- @-revi: with their community supporting 'importer' (perhaps without knowing all of the implications) this request should easily be able to be 'downgraded' to 'transwiki importer' (provided they improve the import sources) right? In the meantime @NMW03: can you start a local thread to approve "Enable transwiki imports from the English Wikipedia" on azwiki? For the summary say that it would allow "administrators and transwiki importers" to use w:az:Special:Import to import (copy in) histories from enwiki. This could be used for technical imports such as modules, or for articles that you want to translate. — xaosflux Talk 13:17, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

- @Xaosflux: OK. Thanks. You can close this request.--NMW03 (talk) 13:27, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- @NMW03: do you not want this anymore? If xwiki resources are added you would still need to be a local 'transwiki importer' (which could be added in advance) or admin to use the import process. — xaosflux Talk 13:57, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Xaosflux:, Should we request phabricator to activate the "Import" function?--NMW03 (talk) 14:25, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- @NMW03: yes, and you would need to link to a local discussion. As soon as that is done all of your admins would be able to transwiki import. If you personally will be doing to imports and are not an admin, this request should still be able to add you to 'transwiki importers' (though that is useless until there is somewhere to import from). — xaosflux Talk 14:29, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Xaosflux: This right can be given when the request resolve? So user groups will be enabled?--NMW03 (talk) 15:21, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- @-revi: your ball :D Can this be resolved out with the 'lesser' transwiki group access for NMW03 - then they can self-service their own phab ticket to add sources. — xaosflux Talk 15:43, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay, I'll get this done this week. — regards, Revi 14:30, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

@NMW03, sorry for the delay. Can you make sure there is a consensus to make use of 'transwiki-import'? Thanks. — regards, Revi 00:24, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
